“Hoisting without confrontation”

The unique design of the Robin Ceiling Hoist, from Invacare, means that there is no metal spreader bar to attach a sling to. This removes the confrontational aspect that a user may experience, from the spreader bar, during the hoisting process.

A strap at each end of the hoist motor provides the connection point to a loop type sling and then the straps raise and lower the user in a safe, controlled manner.
